That being said…they got killed by those refs. Worst officiated game I have seen in 15 years.

Something needs to be done here…Section II is losing it’s integrity.

Tue, 28 Feb 2012 01:06:08 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2433#comment-8891Why is it that as soon as Shen loses in any sport in sectionals things spiral out of control and ultimately officials are blamed for robbing them. see…. http://blog.timesunion.com/sidelines/2011/12/22/shen-girls-soccer-team-destroyed-trophy-as-coach-watched/
This is starting to become the norm under the current regime. In both cases basketball and soccer Shen was a victim of a faulty gameplan that backfired. Some might say “outcoached”.Then in both cases, after the game it becomes a free for all with Shen administrators and parents threatening protests and lawsuits. Bottom line, you lost, get over it and move on. Show class and respect and your kids can learn from you in a positive way.

Just give it to them because they earned it that night. CBA always get better treatment because of their history, but let’s give credit where it’s due and that night it was due to Maginn. It was a great game to watch and both teams did their thing and somebody had to win, and that night it was Maginn!

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:56:32 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2433#comment-8858I watched Mike Lilac’s interview on channel six and his response was almost as pathetic as what happened Saturday at HVCC. Mr. Lilac, you have no problem getting many people to collect money at the door or at the concessions but when it comes to protecting the players and fans with the most basic medical attention you seem to find that to hard to organize. What if there is a Hank Gathers type problem or one of the elderly fans falls on the bleachers,” sorry, we didn’t put any effort in to providing medical attention, but here is your $6.00 back” would probably be your response. Yes, I’m second guessing and reacting with the benefit of hindsight, my problem is not how poor Saturday’s incident was handled, but after you saw that and with the benefit of hindsight you still seem to not understand what happened. As for #15 on CBA, If section 2 or CBA does not suspend him for the next game I guess it will be perfectly clear where the priorities are of these two organizations. Let’s put two very ugly situations behind us by making the right decisions with the benefit of hindsight.

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 15:57:12 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2433#comment-8832Pretty sure section 2 has rules that deal with leaving the bench area during a fight . Will that be overlooked along with the punches and wrestling matches ? Rules also state that if it is the last game of that particular season the penalty follows the individual into his next sport or the following season .

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 04:50:39 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2433#comment-8803I find it a tad disappointing (please don’t be offended bloggers) that some of the posts and those on other boards on the CBA/Shen incident offer deeper insight, more thoughtful analysis and more level headed perspective than Lilac and the committee. It will be unsettling to watch things move forward without any action. What message does this send?
Because it happened after the game there is nothing to be done? What about in pregame? If a fight were to happen BEFORE a game starts with players and coaches on the court (refs too) nothing would happen? The clock hasn’t started, therefore the same rationale is in effect Mr. Lilac. I hardly believe that this would stand. This is an extreme situation and I have learned through experience that extreme situations require similarly extreme responses. To do nothing here condones this behavior. It means prior to tip-off and as soon as the horn sounds at the end of the fourth quarter there are no rules.
This sends an awful message and I expect more from the organization that runs high school sports cannot do more than make an argument that a fifth grader can poke holes in like they did.

Totally Inappropriate!!

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:45:35 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2433#comment-8788As a basketball fan, people keep commenting that CBA fans “BOOOOED” the Shen players as they were leaving the court, what they failed to mention is that there were just as many Shen parents screaming comments and inappropriate language at the CBA players and coaches. The second thing everyone fails to mention is the Shen fans leaving the bleachers and running onto the court making the situation worse at the end of the game aiding in Shen’s misbehavior. Sorry Shen, your actions were equally as bad as anyone else’s. It just shows how Shen people are sore losers. The game is over, CBA won, get over it.

Mon, 27 Feb 2012 00:19:01 +0000http://blog.timesunion.com/medved/?p=2433#comment-8784I was at the Troy-Bethlehem game and witnessed the absolutely worst management of the emergency need of a player in a game. The Section officials should have to answer to the teams and all of the fans for their actions. To put young players like Ogunyemi at risk of severe and life threatening injuries is apalling. If his sneakers did not hold his ankle together, their was a chance of the bone breaking the skin and the young man bleeding to death. What level of care was in attendance for a heart attack of a spectator or player! Do we a death or another disaster to get the attention of those that run these events!
